To Exercise or To Exercise, That is the Question

Spring is in the air. I know some of you are still knee deep in unending snow banks, but trust me, spring is in the air. I know this not because the trees are budding in North Carolina and the daffodils are blooming, although they are, but because my body tells me at this time of year, every year, that it’s time to move. Not sell my house and move, but get off my dusty winter duff and

Guest post written by Hannah Key I think one of the most important wardrobe pieces for cold weather is a cute and warm coat. If you think about it, buying one that looks cute when you wear it is definitely important because when you're going around during the winter, it's one of the only pieces of clothing that other people get to see you in! I have 2 or 3 big winter coats that are really cute

Finding the Place of Thinner Peace

I suspect most post-menopausal women confront body image issues regardless of whether we're thin or fat or somewhere in between. In spite of our best efforts, the hormonal changes that take place during and after menopause change the way our body works and ultimately looks. Our skin is no longer supple and everything loses its shape. Hence, baggy arm flesh, saggy boobs, weight around

"Why are You so Damn Fat!?"

I don't know about you, but I have been asked this question at least a dozen times a day since the time I was about eleven. I have been belittled, criticized, mocked, scolded and generally abused. That's a whole lot of abuse! I didn't realize, on a conscious level, that it was even happening until I picked up Martha Beck's book The Four Day Win on the recommendation of a friend who has

Gratitude is Essential to Aging Abundantly

I have been writing about compassion fatigue and will continue to do so next week. I think it is a very important topic for women to think about and discuss as we age. I want to take a break today and add this blog about gratitude, partly because this holiday weekend is an opportune time to be grateful. In addition, developing an attitude of gratitude can provide an

The Fertile Ground of Shattered Dreams

Our beautiful maple tree lies in pieces on our front lawn, as the blossom laden magnolia looks on. This magnificent tree had its home in the very center of our front yard, and I watched as it grew from a tiny sapling to a large, spreading beauty that garnered the attention of strangers with cameras each fall. I loved this tree and spent many hours studying its shape and texture from my office
